Chapter 53: Are You Really the First Time?

It turned out that Senior Brother Qingsong was the hostile young deacon that Xiao Yu met during the assessment that day.

"It turns out that his name is Qingsong. Xiao Yu thought to himself.

"Xiao Yu!" Qing Song's face was stunned, and then anger, jealousy, and hatred expressions surged up one after another, changing and changing.

Xiao Yu frowned, why is this Qingsong so hostile to him?

Seeing that Xiao Yu was a little puzzled, the little fat man pulled his sleeve and said softly: "This senior brother Qingsong is the suitor of Duanmu Snow Lotus. ”

"What?" Xiao Yu was taken aback at first, and then understood the root cause.

He was helpless in his heart, thinking of Duanmu Xuelian, he didn't want to conflict with him, so he arched his hand and said, "Senior brother is good." ”

Then continue to tinker with medicinal herbs and prepare to make a fire for alchemy.

"Wait a minute. Qing Song looked at Xiao Yu's posture and knew what his intentions were, so he couldn't help but sneer, "You just came to the Spirit Pill Hall for three days, and you want to refine the pill?"

Hearing Qing Song's words, the surrounding disciples were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

"Haha, Xiao Yu has only been here for three days, I'm afraid I haven't understood the "Three Methods of Basic Alchemy" yet, right?"

"Just Xiao Yu's elm head, he can only memorize by rote, and he can't understand the profound art of alchemy at all!"

"It's only been three days, so I may not even know how to do basic operations!"

"Ambition is not old, alchemy is not afraid of lack of time. Xiao Yu sneered at this group of people in the face of cynicism.

"It's a set of big words, but I don't know your fire control skills, whether you have good kung fu!" Qing Song sneered.

"Do you know that it can become an elixir in three days, how many people have been in the Lingdan Hall since the opening of the sect?"

"One hand counts!"

"I'm sorry, but it's one of them. Qing Song looked proud, "But even if it's me, a furnace of elixir, there are only one or two finished products." ”

"That's it, you think you're Senior Sister Duan Yuxi! And even with Senior Sister Duan's peerless talent, you only started alchemy after studying for a week, do you still want to surpass Senior Sister Duan?" a disciple couldn't help but speak.

"Wait, you said that Yu Xi only studied for a week and practiced it?" Xiao Yu seemed to think of something.

"Of course, Senior Sister Duan is an unprecedented genius. The disciple who spoke was obviously Duan Yuxi's fan brother, and when his name was mentioned, he looked adoring.

"It's not once or twice that I've broken the record of rain. Xiao Yu's heart was settled, revealing a smile of victory.

"Wait a minute, is that what you called Yuxi? The disciple heard the angry words.

Xiao Yu ignored it and began to sort out the medicinal materials.

"Dare to laugh, I'll see how you laugh in front of a pile of coke!" Qing Song sneered, clasping his hands around his chest, not intending to leave.

Obviously, he wanted to see Xiao Yu's jokes.

The disciples behind him didn't want to leave, they all wanted to see how this arrogant man wrestled.

"Hey, buddy!" a disciple at the outermost level suddenly felt a pair of fleshy little hands on his shoulders.

He turned his head to see that a lewd round face was almost pasted up, and he was frightened into a chill in his heart.

"You, what are you going to do?"

The little fat man put his left hand around his shoulder, and dragged a wooden plate with his right hand, looking quite ambiguous.

"It's not interesting just to look at Xiao Yu's alchemy, let's bet on it!"

......

While Xiao Yu was sorting out the materials, the afterglow of his right eye swept over, and when he saw the little fat man shuttling through the crowd to place bets, he couldn't help but laugh and ignored it.

After packing up, Xiao Yu recalled the mantra of the "Three Methods of Basic Alchemy", and at the same time, the process of refining the "Qi Condensing Pill" by each disciple came to mind in his mind.

Including some examples of failures, he also memorized them, and kept recalling them to find out what was wrong.

All thanks to the fact that his soul power is extremely powerful.

In the past few days of study, Xiao Yu did not personally alchemize, but he had the opportunity to try some steps related to alchemy, such as feeding, starting fire, controlling fire, opening the furnace, etc.

But it's just a test.

A good alchemist must complete these many links in one go.

This is a great test of endurance and soul power.

And in these links, the most important step is "fire control".

"Fire control" not only lasts for a long time, but also the slightest mistake in the process will affect the whole body and affect the overall situation.

Moreover, the unevenness of heat transfer in the tripod furnace will also affect the heat, at this time, the importance of a good tripod furnace is reflected.

After figuring out all the details and deducing them again, Xiao Yu opened his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and started the first alchemy.

The first step is feeding.

Xiao Yu first chose the Qi Gathering Grass and the Clover.

This is only one part of the many materials, and the quality of the materials, as well as the order in which they are added to the Ding Furnace, will affect the medicinal properties of the elixir.

Only by coordinating well can the medicinal power of each material be refined to the maximum.

These actions fell into Qing Song's eyes, and he raised his eyebrows and nodded unconsciously.

Only the first step is fed, Xiao Yu is much smarter than many apprentices who have studied for a few months.

After selecting the materials, Xiao Yu put them in a certain order and put them into the alchemy furnace.

Even the placement of materials is very particular.

The heating of the alchemy furnace is also uneven, with high temperatures in some locations and low temperatures in others.

At this point, the first step of "feeding" is completed.

Xiao Yu barely missed any details, even if some of the steps were not accurate, in his mind, there were still methods demonstrated by other alchemists before.

The second step is to start a fire.

Starting a fire seems simple, but in fact, it is also very exquisite.

There must be no difference in the type, size, or temperature of the fire.

Fortunately, refining the low-grade elixir of "Yunxue Pill" does not have high requirements for fire.

Xiao Yu lit a small piece of black cloud carbon, and a wisp of crimson flame ignited, spreading little by little.

Next will be the most important step in fire control.

Xiao Yu concentrated his mind, urging the power of his soul, and his fingers flipped slightly, and through the true qi, he manipulated and affected the flames.

Using the power of the soul to manipulate and influence the flames, this technique requires a strong spiritual sense.

And under the triple heaven of martial artists, the spiritual consciousness cannot be separated from the body at all, so how can we control the fire?

Xiao Yu had a strong control over the flames, and he saw that the beating flames, like parallel lines, were evenly distributed on the outside of the furnace.

Time passed little by little, half an hour, an hour......

The bodies of the disciples who were watching before began to be a little numb, but seeing that Qingsong was still motionless, it was difficult to leave.

At this moment, these people can't help but regret a little, why do you want to watch Xiao Yu's alchemy, doesn't this make you feel guilty?

And the die-hard fans of Qingsong, who stood at the front, gritted their teeth and insisted, waiting for the moment when Xiao Yu's furnace destroyed the pill, they could mock him to their heart's content.

And Qing Song's face is getting more and more ugly, because there is gradually a faint medicinal fragrance in the furnace, and it is getting stronger and stronger.

A hint of foreboding rose in his heart, could this Xiao Yu really be refined?

Xiao Yu didn't feel tired at all.

He occasionally added carbon wood to his left hand, and controlled the fire methodically with his right hand.

Although he hadn't practiced "fire control" much before, the cultivation of the past few days has made his soul power stronger and stronger, and his control of spiritual consciousness has become more and more handy.

Unconsciously, two hours had passed, and Xiao Yu was still at ease, controlling the flames with ease.

This made Qing Song moved, but he didn't expect Xiao Yu's soul power to be so strong.

He thought to himself that at Xiao Yu's age, he couldn't hold on for so long.

"I can actually make every trace of spiritual sense accurate to the extreme, and control the flames as if I am a finger. ”

Qing Song sighed in his heart, he was even more powerful than he was back then?

Thinking of this, his disgust and jealousy for Xiao Yu increased a little more.

Such a fire control ability is almost comparable to some of the older generation alchemists of the Spirit Pill Hall.

After another hour, Xiao Yu's spiritual sense gradually retracted, and the blue flame under the furnace was gradually extinguished.

The residual heat on the stove was still there, the fragrance of medicine was overflowing, and the whole hall was filled with the fragrance of medicine.

Xiao Yu sniffed the smell, and sure enough, it was the smell of the Qi Condensing Pill, probably because it had just been baked, and the smell was more than ten times stronger than the one he had taken before.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Yu grabbed it with his left hand.

Syllable!

Steaming heat suddenly rose from above the furnace ding, and more than a dozen pills with a glittering luster tumbled and danced with the air current.

This is the last link, the opening of the furnace.

Every step of alchemy should not be taken lightly, such as the time when the furnace was opened, it is also very exquisite.

If it is opened early, the elixir is still liquid and has not yet condensed.

On the other hand, if the furnace is opened too late, the elixir will over-expand, and when it comes out of the oven, it will explode once it encounters cold air.

Especially some powerful pills, the impact after the explosion is so strong that it may ruin the hall of the real elixir hall, which is why alchemists like to choose a place for alchemy in a hot place......

Swish!

With a wave of Xiao Yu's robe, a burst of purple qi rolled out, and more than a dozen Qi Condensing Pills in the furnace were all wrapped in his sleeves.

"Senior Brother Qingsong, is the junior brother okay?" Xiao Yu spread out his hand, revealing a crystal clear Qi Condensing Pill.

"Wait a minute, let me see the yield. ”

Qing Song said coldly.

Yield?

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and quickly thought of the common sense in alchemy.

Every time a furnace of pills is refined, there is a success rate, and only when the prescribed efficacy is reached, it is called a finished product, otherwise, it is called a waste product and a discarded pill.

"Maybe all that comes out of refining is waste, and that's no different from refining failure. ”

Qing Song pretended to be calm, took the Qi Condensing Pill in Xiao Yu's hand, and began to check.

"Can make the pill form, Xiao Yu has already gone out of shit luck, it must be all waste!" Qingsong's die-hard fans are still unwilling, thinking that this is the right solution.

However, they found that Qing Song's face was red and white for a while, and horror and shock flashed in his eyes one after another.

"Twelve Qi Condensing Pills, one is of perfect quality, three are excellent, six are ordinary, and two are second, but they are all normal. ”

Qing Song gasped, and his voice almost trembled: "How is this possible? It turned out to be a 100% yield rate! Even the first time Senior Sister Duan Yuxi and I did alchemy, the yield rate was less than 70%!"

100% yield!

The disciples behind Qing Song were speechless in shock, looking at Xiao Yu as if they were looking at a monster.

"Are you really alchemizing for the first time?"
